John 14:23

John 14:23

21 ^aHe who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and¹ manifest Myself to him.”

22 ^aJudas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?”

23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, ^aand We will come to him and make Our home with him.

24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and ^athe word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.

The Gift of His Peace

25 “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you.

26 But ^athe Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will ^bsend in My name, ^cHe will teach you all things, and bring to your ^dremembrance all things that I said to you.

27 ^aPeace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

28 You have heard Me ^asay to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because¹ I said, ^b‘I am going to the Father,’ for ^cMy Father is greater than I.

29 “And ^anow I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe.

John Wesley's Notes

<< John 14:22

John 14:24 >>

Jesus answered - Because ye love and obey me, and they do not, therefore I will reveal myself to you, and not to them. My Father will love him - The more any man loves and obeys, the more God will love him. And we will come to him, and make our abode with him - Which implies such a large manifestation of the Divine presence and love, that the former in justification is as nothing in comparison of it.
